The Reyds Solution
We safely thaw the coil, diagnose the trigger — charge, defrost, airflow or fan — repair the root cause, and restore clean coil operation so cooling returns and stays.
Industry context
Butcheries
For butcheries, refrigeration reliability is a commercial requirement rather than a convenience. Meat-critical cold storage where temperature drift means loss and risk. Our technicians work to the tolerance your operation needs.
Cape Town coverage
Paarl · Winelands
Our Winelands technicians treat Paarl as core coverage rather than an outlying callout. Technicians carry common components and refrigerant, so most Paarl repairs are finished on the first visit.
Prevention
Stop the fault returning
Replace door seals at the first sign of perishing to stop the warm-air ingress that drives many evaporator coil frozen callouts.
Book a service check ahead of peak trading so the freezer room under the heaviest load is not the one that fails.
Keep a documented escalation path for temperature alarms so evaporator coil frozen is answered in minutes, not noticed at close.
Schedule quarterly preventative maintenance on your freezer room to catch wear before it becomes evaporator coil frozen.
